I look at it like this.
There is a bank somewhere, and every time we stand silently and patiently while someone does something mildly annoying, we get credit, and when we do something mildly annoying someone will borrow from that bank and extend the loan to us.
I am in unchartered territory. I haven't ever been this old before. I didn't know the hair on my legs would disappear and reappear as a beard and moustache. I didn't know I would make moaning sounds when I would arise from a chair. or that all those smiles would pay me back as wrinkles.
So I try really hard to cut the older some slack. But Cold no more is right. He may well have been selfish all of his life.
Enjoy this day. Who knows how many we have.
